I was hoping for a Lapras-type of capture actually.. But we got a Squirtle instead.

It's called set up... But yes, they're probably going to milk this sucker...
- First Piplup and Oshawott.
- Then random Onix.
- Then a raging Dragonite.

It seems like they're upping the stakes to:
- Raging Kami-trio...

It was Gurdurr and Darmanitan.

About the trainers, I agree. They're very a-typically pokemon. It was as if I was looking at a different animé or something!

I loved Dragonite's 'wtf'-moments throughout the episode. It just blankly stared at Meloetta and suddenly fell to a knee as if: Can't... bear.. this crap.. anymore... Losing... Power... KFC... must... get... -.-

Dawn has nothing to whine about, I mean she got Togekiss literally handed to her. At least Dragonite wanted to go with her out of its own...

Yeah, I thought they'd stop after a few weeks, but this is all still for the movie promotion I'd guess..

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-

It's been 7 weeks, and it was announced this promotion would last 8 weeks before it even started.

I got the corrected voice cast for the episode up. The only mistakes in the TV Tokyo one was that Toyoguchi and Kozakura were left out, and that Ryusuke Kanemoto didn't have his role as "guard" listed. The other new actors did indeed not have their roles listed.

I must say, this actually proved to be a really good episode. I'm satisfied.

First of all, Dragonite... I really, really didn't think I'd like it at all, but I was so wrong. Dragonite is so hilarious. Those facial expressions it made were just gold, and I loved how it pretty much remained grumpy throughout the whole episode. It obviously took somewhat of a liking to Iris, as she was seen protecting it all the way through, and although it refrained from showing any emotions towards Iris I'm positive that it really felt a strong conneciton to her, but he had to keep his ''tough guy'' mode on. :P Dragonite was really great, and I'm actually glad that he now is part of the main cast.

Then we have Iris, who I thought was simply remarkable in this episode. Iris showed right from the start that she didn't believe that a Dragon-type would cause any trouble without a reason, and see clearly wanted an answer of what was really going on. Her initiative and her courage that she displayed in this episode was inspiring, and even though she was clearly outnumbered when those Elite Trainers arrived, she still decided to step in and protect Dragonite regardless of what they were saying.
I also liked how she cautiosly tried to calm Dragonite down by truly talking to it, implying that she really wanted to be friends with it. Iris was just as good as Dragonite in this episode. Shame we didn't get to see Axew helping her out though.

Ash was also really great in this episode. Once again, he showed that he completely trusted Iris the whole way through, which was proof of some real strong friendship. Dento naturally felt unsure of Iris' actions, but in the end finally decided to come with them, even though he apparently was too big (?) for the vent? That was just a lame excuse for making him stay away, as the others seemed to have plenty of space when they were crawling.

Dawn. DawnDawnDawnDawn...
Once again, her presence felt really unnecessary and just boring. The only thing I liked was how she and Ash FINALLY interacted in one way or another, as they teamed up to defend Iris once Dragonite attacked. That's pretty much it... *Sigh* She's starting to become her DP-self again.

I thought this was a great episode overall, and I'm really, really excited for the upcoming development we can expect to see from Iris and Dragonite.

EDIT: Oh, and we also apparently got to see some scenes with the trio of Dawn, Ash and Cilan... My opinion? Boring. I realized that they are nothing without Iris.

it is so cool that iris gets a dragonite! it is likely to remove excadrills crown as the strongest pokemon on her team, and obviously a dragon type trainer to have a pokemon like dragonite works well, i remember when dawn got mamoswine thinking that it would be the supreme powerhouse of her team and....it wasnt really unfortunately, they kinda downgraded it for some reason, i hope this doesnt happen with dragonite, i just dont see that happening and how....and it is a dragonite after all. i didnt like that piplup never evolved, partly because its clearly strong enough to be an empoleon, partly because i dont like that annoying little penguin, i think axew should evolve and get a lot stronger. maybe iris will go on to be great things in the anime, what with her being the champ in b2/w2 and all, i was a big fan of her being the champ.

Obviously the Hydreigon is Jeremy's, he plotted this all again to try and "get rid" of Ash and the gang. Oh and it looked like he was going to make them "Orange Juice" again :P

So the Magnemite didn't really have any role? Oh well, I liked seeing them all.

Cilan is too old to get through vents or whatnot, poor guy looked like his back cracked or something, just how old is he, hmm.

Was nice seeing Oshawott and Piplup not fight, they seem like they could get along pretty well.

Nothing really else happened that I didn't already know was going to happen, Iris' scenes seem interesting to me and all but I'll have to wait to watch and know what's being said. Still, it looks like an interesting enough episode for me.
